Even Better Than The End Of The World – The Beginning Of A Year

Back when I started blogging, I found a lot of the blogs I follow by reading the commenters on other blogs. Good comments led to a link click, and to some of my best online friends today.

Except for one guy. He was on a lot of the blogs I read, commenting, back and forthing with other comments. But his link was just a gravatar pic.
One of the first things I learned about him in those comments was that he loved goats (seriously).
I kept an eye on him. Because he’s weird.
Then one day, the blogosphere was awhirl. Atwitter. Agog, even!
After months of gentle berating and cajoling, this whackadoodle got his own blog!
But it wasn’t all things animal. For instance, he doesn’t speak cat. For goodness sake, he drove a Vega!

Vega! Don’t laugh.Well ok. But not too hard.

But before you mock him too harshly, he’s one of the few I know who’s successfully used vomiting as a pickup technique. And there was a sci fi convention involved, so he’s got that in his favor too!

Hey, I told you I’d get to ya! Sorry, it’s taking a bit to work my way though all the love – and a recalcitrant wood furnace, fighting cats, overflowing vacuums, all the stuff that makes a birthday fun! 😀
Thanks SO much for all the great birthday wishes! And something tells me you had a Vega in your background somewhere, Guap. C’mon, admit it! 😉
Again, thanks to everybody for all the bloggy love. And thanks for the tribute, Guap. I’ll find a way to pay you back… trust me …. some way that’ll be … INTERESTING …. (insert evil laugh here) 😉

You’re almost scary. But in a fun, non-restraining order sort of way. My first serious girlfriend drove a Vega. It was red too. I will always love that car. Wouldn’t that be something? If this pic was HER car?
Alright pal. You got me again. As per usual.
Merry Christmas, handsome.

Congrats, John, and I look forward to reading your work. I take my wackadoodleness (wackadoodletude?) very seriously. It’s the only real thing in life that’s 100 % fun, other than vomiting for pickups (eeeew). Guap, I am trying to get in line with your polls!!! Merry Christmas, Happy Festivus! Amy

Happy Birthday, John! It’s so nice of you guys to do this for your pal. I’ll have to pay him a visit. But, I’ll tell you, I wouldn’t fall any vomiting pick up line. There must be some serious sci-fi involved.
